Mayor Pulido re- opened the Hearing for additional comments.
George Garcia asked about carbon emissions.
There were no additional speakers and the Mayor closed the Hearing.
Council discussion ensued.
Mayor Pro Tern Sarmiento, noted that recommendation is a simple
assignment instead of amended development agreement; proposed
amended recommendation keeps .8 acres as originally designed in 2012
and requested clarification on inclusionary housing fee — will be returning
to City Council in the future with amendments to Housing Opportunity
Ordinance.
Interim Executive Director Fregoso, explained that recommendation
maintains $3,000 per unit fee which is consistent with 2012 provisions;
assigns terms of original agreement unless applicant is proposing
changes to project — consistent with other projects.
Mayor Pro Tern Sarmiento, satisfied with fee set at $3,000; stressed
importance to clarify formula in Housing Opportunity Ordinance.
Mayor Pulido, asked City Attorney if there were any entitlement issues as
approved by the City Council in 2012.
City Attorney Carvalho, recounted that approval in 2012 was in itself an
amendment to the original project; recommendation is an assignment
because developer decided not to move forward with additional changes;
2012 approval is vested and transferring over.
Mayor Pulido, look forward to high rise; thanked applicant. Will high rise
require new Environmental Impact Report?
Interim Executive Director Fregoso, indicated that if high rise tower
proposed it would require new Environmental Impact Report since existing
study only takes into account current number of units being built.
Councilmember Martinez asked developer to be mindful of water
conservation efforts.
Applicant noted that project will satisfy State of California requirements
and City of Santa Ana Storm water requirements.
